    Small and westernmost municipality in all of Liguria, Olivetta San Michele is located between Col de Vescavo and Airole, along the banks of the Bevera stream. Here the Ligurian Roiasco dialect is spoken, but - a unique case in Liguria - the entire municipal territory also belongs to the historical Occitan linguistic minority. Olivetta, which has a station on the Ventimiglia-Turin route in the hamlet of San Michele, is part of the Union of the municipalities of the Nervia and Roja Valleys.

      A beautiful training route with varying gradients (5% to 11%). Those who enjoy culture as well as nature should also cycle the last 5 km to Piene Haute.
